So why are black belts black (and other belt colours)?

The other day, I began to wonder if there is any reason why Jigoro Kano chose black for the high-ranking colour belt and conversely why white for low grades (before all the other colours came in).



Someone was telling me that old tale of how a black belt was just a really filthy white belt and I just couldn't take it seriously. But it did make me wonder if there really was some significance to the belt colours. :thinking:
